That's the worst fall I've seen in ages - the weight of his legs and lower torso continuing in a direction that his pretzelled neck couldn't accommodate. I cringe every time I see it. Thankfully he's okay. The suppleness of his body as he hit the ground probably saved him. If that were me I'd be in a wheelchair. Mind you, if that were me I'd only get about two feet off the ground, so I guess it's a moot point.

The yellow card here is debatable, particularly since Poite had ruled the opposite earlier in the game, saying that the player had gone down before impact. Seen in isolation, this one could probably have deserved a card.

What isn't debatable is that Romain Poite is a very poor referee and should not be getting games of this magnitude. There is no consistency in anything he does, and every ruck, scrum and tackle ends up a complete lottery. At one stage he was trying so hard to keep Wasps in the game.

Thing is, this has happened before in football (soccer), where referees were "got" after the game. And by got, I mean got dead. So to dismiss this as a hot-headed player having a brainfart is dangerous. Because who knows if he didn't mean way after the game? As in follow him home from the stadium later. Too late then to say "Oh, we had no idea he meant that". If a player threatens an official with "justice" after the game has ended, I say let him go use his phenomenal ruck skills delivering pizza or flipping burgers. Rugby can afford to let him go.

The swearing is one thing, but the threat to "get him after the game" is a whole new level. And the fact that he tried to follow through on this should see him banned for a long time. If it were up to me, that would be the end of his season, an possibly next season too. Got to send the strongest possible message that if you pull that shit, your days as a pro rugby player are done.
